In defense of Anthropologie, not ALL of their stuff is poorly made.
they buy from alot of different brands, so you have to pick and choose. I do agree that most of their cotton options are very thin and flimsy and too much so for rush, but they have knits and other thicker materials that I think hold up really well. I am not a fan of (and do not buy) tanks and tees and funky shirts that cost 68$ and are about as quality as a ten dollar Target shirt, but if you look you can find some good stuff there. (I say this partly because a few of my favorite things come from anthro, but I do agree you have to be selective)
